Hello! You'll need a data set that you can index. This is quite simple - if you don't know what data you want to index or you don't have test data, just take Wikipedia dump and index it using Data Import Handler. You can find the example on using Wikipedia dump with DIH on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#Example:_Indexing_wikipedia. On the other hand you can also extract documents with a simple code and use tool like JMeter to prepare indexing stress test to see how far you can push your SolrCloud deplouyment when it comes to indexing.
You will also need queries, so that you can run queries performance tests. You can build some example queries using common phrases found in Wikipedia - however I'm not sure if there is something already extracted, you will either have to extract them yourself or use common English phrases. You take that list of phrases (it would be nice to have a lot of them, so they don't repeat) and run them against Solr. Again you can use a tool like JMeter, create a test plan and run a tests with different number of threads until you find a point where Solr just can't handle more. -- Regards, Rafał Kuć Performance Monitoring * Log Analytics * Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/ > Hi, > I am a student, planning to learn and do a features and functionality > test of solr-cloud as one of my project.
